Original Abstract Submitted

a bidirectional mapping is established between network content and application programs, based on declarations at both the network content and at the application. additionally, bidirectional mapping can provide for deep links, which can associate specific network content with a specific presentation of data in an application program. the identification format for such deep links can conform to a predetermined standard or it can be custom implemented according to a format declared either as part of the network content or the application program. the bidirectional mapping is then utilized by a lookup service to provide functionality to a third-party entity. the lookup service can identify, to the entity, application programs associated with network content specified by that entity and network content associated with application programs specified by that entity.
